Ivy Coach College Admissions Blog

‘Tis no longer the Christmas season. But ’tis the season for transfers.

Transfer applicants, it’s about that time when you should be deciding if you really do want to switch schools. Maybe switching schools isn’t the right decision for you. Maybe, with time, you’ll come to love the school you matriculated to after high school. Maybe you had a bad experience with your girlfriend and it’s tainted your freshman year…but blue skies are ahead for you at this very university. Don’t be so quick to transfer. Unless you’ve already made your mind up and are intent on transferring. Maybe you didn’t get into the colleges you had hoped to as a high school senior. Maybe you want more of an academic challenge. Maybe you think you can get into an Ivy League school now. Whatever the reason is, if you really want to transfer, the time has come to get serious and start working on those applications and the many college admissions essays.

Your high school grades and scores are still going to matter. Your college coursework and your grades are going to matter big time. Your intellectual curiosity and unique talent(s) are still going to matter. And your admissions essays are still going to matter. So if you’re intent on applying to other schools, there is no time like the present. Don’t be like all of the high schoolers who contacted us in the days before the Regular Decision deadline. Don’t wait until the very last minute to get start on your applications, on your school selection, etc. Get started now.

So, transfers, fill out our free consult form and we’ll be in touch. We look forward to hearing from you. Oh, and if you thought the college admissions process was tough out of high school, know that the odds are even tougher for transfers. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible. We help transfer students gain admission to the colleges of their dreams every year.
